UncontestedDivorce

An Uncontested Divorce is one where the spouses have agreed on all aspects of the divorce. This includes division of assets and debt, children, and possibly other matters to avoid the tension and conflicts that have caused the divorce. An Uncontested Divorce can move along quickly and tends to be less emotionally and financially stressful. In Illinois uncontested divorces are based on the grounds that irreconcilable differences have caused the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage.
